Ford's
Uncommitted
filiation
with
the
University
of
Michigan
where
he
graduated
in
1935
after
starring
as
a
center
on
the
football
team.
"The
University
of
Michigan
has
offered
a
visiting
professorship
in
political
science,"
Barrett
said
when
asked
about
a
report
by
the
Detroit
News.
"But
that
is
one
of
a
large
number
of
other
offers
received
and,
consistent
with
past
statements
by
the
President,
all
such
offers
are
being
held
for
review
with
no
decisions
planned
until
after
Jan.
20."
The
Detroit
News
quoted
an
un
identified
"close
friend"
of
Ford's
as
saying
he
is
"seriously
thinking
about
returning
to
his
alma
mater
to
work
on
his
memoirs
and
give
an
occasional
lecture."
Asked
whether
he
thought
Ford
would
take
the
teaching
job,
University
President
Robben
W.
Fleming
said,
"This
is
a
development
which
the
University
of
Michigan
would
welcome
and
it
has
been
brought
to
the
attention
of
the
President
in
an
informal
way.

"It
is
our
understanding
that
he
is
considering
the
suggestion

WASHINGTON
(UPI)
-
President
Ford
has
received
"a
wide
range"
of
job
offers,
including
one
from
the
University
of
Michigan
to
teach
at
his
alma
mater,
but
he
will
make
no
commitments
before
leaving
office,
an
aide
said
yesterday.
Other
White
House
officials
said
Ford
probably
will
take
wife
Betty
to
the
Palm
Springs
area
of
California
after
Jimmy
Carter's
inauguration
and
they
are
likely
to
settle
permanently
near
the
desert
resort
where
they
vacationed
after
the
election.
Ford
repeatedly
has
declined
to
give
any
clues
to
the
life
he
will
lead
and
officials
said
no
final
decisions
have
been
made.
Army
Maj.
Robert
Barrett,
the
military
aide
handling
Ford's
personal
transition
affairs,
said
the
President
"has
received
a
wide
range
of
offers"
from
schools,
businesses,
organizations
and
other
groups.
He
declined
to
discuss
specifics
and
said
Ford
would
consider
all
options
but
had
yet
to
give
extended
thought
to
any,

One
department
store
Santa
Claus
is
finding
a
lot
of
little
old
ladies
want
to
sit
on
his
lap
along
with
the
usual
run
of
kids.
Tom
Stephan
is
a
5-foot-8,
245-pound
Santa
for
one
of
Chicago's
biggest
department
stores.
Hs
is
only
22
and
a
student
at
DePaul
University,
but
he
has
all
the
answers
and
is
quite
a
jolly
fellow
as
he
sits
in
his
Cozy
Cloud
Cottage.
He
says
on
weekdays
he
talks
and
listens
to
as
many
as
1,000
children
and
on
weekends
4,000
will
parade
in.
"My
lap
gets
a
little
tired
sometimes,"
says
Santa.
"The
other
day
a
busload
of
50
ladies
in
their
50s
and
70s
came
in
from
Milwaukee.
They
all
wanted
to
see
me.
Some
asked
for
fur
jackets,
new
cars,
jewelry.
But
most
of
them
asked
for
a
boyfriend
to
be
delivered
Christmas
morning.
Some
said
they
would
take
anything.
"I'd
listen
and
give
a
jolly
laugh
and
say:
'If
you've
been
a
good
girl
all
year,
you
might
get
what
you
want.'
That
seems
to
please
them,
just
like
it
does
the
kids."

Officials
of
the
New
York
Jazz
Museum
yesterday
offered
a
$100
reward
for
the
return
of
an
angled-bell
trumpet
once
owned
by
jazz
great
Dizzy
Gillespie
that
was
stolen
from
its
exhibit.
Museum
Director
Howard
Fischer
said
the
trumpet,
engraved
with
Gillespie's
name,
was
stolen
while
a
crowd
of
music
buffs
filed
through
the
exhibit.
"To
us
it's
worth
$5,000,"
he
said.
"But
I
can't
believe
someone
is
going
to
try
to
sell
it.
He
would
be
sure
to
be
found
out."
Tina's
Trouble
Singer
Tina
Turner
yesterday
was
arraigned
in
Municipal
Court,
Beverly
Hills,
Calif,
on
two
misdemeanor
charges
of
possessing
firearms.
Mrs.
Turner
was
arrested
Nov.
20
when
a
sheriff's
deputy
stopped
her
for
an
alleged
traffic
violation
in
West
Hollywood
and
noticed
a
pistol
in
her
open
purse.
The
two
counts
are
possession
of
a
loaded
firearm
and
possession
of
a
concealed
firearm.
Judge
Leonard
Wolf
set
Jan.
25
for
a
pretrial
hearing.
Fowl
Insult
Rep.
Paul
Findley,
(R-Ill.)
cried
"fowl"
yesterday
when
he
learned
the
Agriculture
Department
had
ruled
that
a
product
made
of
pressed
turkey
colored
to
look
like
ham
could
be
sold
as
"turkey-ham."
"Unjustly
maligned
in
simile
and
folklore,
the
noble
hog
has
been
delivered
a
fowl
insult
by
the
federal
bureaucracy."
The
congressman
said
someone
in
the
department
had
gone
"hog-wild"
and
that
Agriculture
Secretary
John
Knebel
should
"outlaw
this
pigheaded
scheme."
Tax
Man
Billy
Carter,
who
had
his
mayorial
hopes
dashed
Monday
in
a
Plains,
Ga.
election,
has
been
appointed
to
an
$l,800-per-year
post
on
the
Sumter
County
Board
of
Tax
Assessors.
The
president-elect's
brother,
who

farm

a
Plains

station,
was
named
Tuesday
to

job
by

commission
and

Tree
House
Bonnie
Gulan
is
just
crazy
about
Christmas
trees.
She
has
66
of
them
on
the
main
floor
of
her
home
in
Lake
Forest,
111.
She
started
two
days
of
open
house
yesterday
and
expects
5,000
persons
to
see
the
collection.
"That's
how
many
came
last
year.
It's
our
Christmas
gift
to
the
people,"
she
said.
She
began
collecting
artificial
trees
15
years
ago
and
trims
each
differently.
The
trees
range
in
height
from
1
to
9
feet
and
each
is
decorated
to
represent
a
song
or
a
story
Mrs.
Gulan
wrote
to
entertain
her
four
children,
now
grown.
Loud
Message
A
Seattle
jury
wouldn't
convict
truck
driver
George
Dennis
Duvall,
34,
for
tossing
a
brick
through
the
telephone
company's
front
window
last
July
4,
but
prosecutors
says
they
will
try
again.
Elsa
Durham,
the
deputy
prosecutor
who
tried
the
case,
said
a
new
trial
date
probably
will
be
set
next
week.
Duvall
said
he
lobbed
the
red,
white
and
blue
brick
through
the
window
to
protest
phone
company
plans
to
charge
customers
for
information
service,
among
other
things.
"That's
like
paying
your
grocer
to
tell
you
where
the
peanut
butter
is
in
his
own
store.
"I
was
trying
to
communicate
that
big
corporations
like
AT&T
have
pretty
much
lost
track
of
values,
ideals
and
service,"
he
said.
Duvall
was
charged
with'
malicious
mischief
for
inflicting
what
the
phone
company
claims
was
$1,963
damage
to
the
large
window.
The
first
trial
ended
in
a
hung
jury.
